Dear leaders in the Michigan organized blind movement,
For years I have been bothered by a general lack of accessibility at
museums with the common no touch policies and lack of accessible
alternatives we have all come to know so well. Every now and then we
find something that promises to raise awareness, change thinking, and
increase accessibility. I am therefore please to promote the following
exhibit at the MSU Broad Museum on 4/14 at 7PM. I hope you can help me
get word out through your networks as attendance and interest in this
event will further underscore the need and benefits of including
touch, audio and accessibility in today's museums. I will attend and
encourage you to as well.
